"I had been going back and forth about getting these for a while (the black ones w/ maroon), and I finally caved in and bought them. They are exactly as pictured and I LOVE how they looked. Unfortunately, they were not very comfortable to me. They felt pretty narrow in the toe area and slightly short. I walked around the house in them a little but just couldn't stand that I could not wiggle my toes around - I ended up returning them, maybe ordering a half size larger would help. The quality of these shoes is great and I loved everything about them, but I just couldn't make them work for me."
